Glimmerglass by Jenna Black

Image
Hey everyone, just finished Glimmerglass by Jenna Black. This was a pretty good book altogether. We join Dana who leaves home to escape her drunken mother and live with her father who is a powerful Fae living in a magical town called Avalon. When she get's there she runs into some trouble with her Aunt and then with two teens who 'save' her from her aunt and take her somewhere she is supposed to be 'safe'. While with them she learns a little more about herself, though it doesn't make her feel any better to know she is a Faeriewalker, able to walk through to the Faerie realm and bring humans and technology with her. That makes her target number one as everyone wants to get her on their side, including her father, aunt and just about everyone else. There is also the slight problem of the Faerie Queen wanting her dead so that she can't try to overthrow them like the others have in the past. Together with the help of her two new friends, well only really...

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

Image
Hey guys, just finished Hex Hall so let's get down to it! Meet Sophie, a witch trying to get through high school at her prom night. She thinks she is doing the right thing by doing a love spell for a lonely girl, but everything goes wrong and she is sent to a private boarding school to learn to control her powers. She meets three other witches like her, but they are witches with a capital B. They try to recruit her, to no avail, and she instantly becomes their enemy. Her new room mate, a vampire that loves the colour pink, is anything but normal, being the only vampire in school. Then theirs Archer, the strange warlock boy that is dating the enemy. But hey, there's some romance there that you would see coming of course. Throw in a few murder attempts on some witches and you got yourself a pretty crazy story. But that's just another day at Hex Hall I guess. So this was an okay book, for one of my back up books while waiting for a new shipment of books to come in.  ...

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

Image
Hey everyone! So I just finished a few book I got and I thought I would update for you! Above is the picture of Cinder, by Marissa Meyer. It was a pretty good read, recommended to me by my friend who had read it a few months ago. To be honest I got it two months ago and just couldn't bring myself to read it until now. The story follows Cinder, a cyborg teenage girl struggling to survive in the world. It follows an almost Cinderella story the way she deals with her mother and evil step sister. But there are a lot of changes. She has one sister who is loving to her, until she catches the plague, a deadly disease that is killing hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. Her step mom, blaming Cinder for her sisters certain death, offers her to the government for testing for the cure to the disease. There Cinder learns some pretty crazy things about herself and finds herself getting closer to the prince, who is kind and strong when he is around her. But she has secrets ...

Blood Red Road by Moira Young

Hey Everyone! Just finished Blood Red Road by Moira Young. This book was interesting, though still good. The grammer is horrible, but it is written as though the girl never learned to speak or spell. Which is exactly what fits the main Character Saba. Saba lives in a isolated town with her dad, her twin brother Lugh and her sister Emmie. One day 5 men on horses come and kidnap her brother and kill her father. Saba sets out on a crazy journey to save him and meets some interesting people along the way. One of my favorite characters, which doesn't get all that interesting until book 2, is DeMalo, the Tonton leader who has a thing for Saba. I would most certainly recommend reading both books in the series, but be warned about the writing. You have to read a lot into the book before you start to get used to the writing. But I would say you should read through it all the way. 4 our of 5 stars.

Eye of the Crow by Shane Peacock

Hey everyone, just finished reading Eye of the Crow by Shane Peacock. He is a local in my area and I know a lot of his family. Not only that, but I have a meeting with him at the end of the month. I am very excited! So that is one of the reasons I decided to read this book. It is the first the the boy Sherlock Holmes stories. This is his very first case! When Sherlock is out one day he hears of a murder, and somehow gets caught up in the whole thing after he is blamed. So as his first case it is his duty to become a fugitive to prove himself innocent.  I really enjoyed this read, though it isn't at all what I am used to reading. I would suggest reading it if you have not already. Shane is a great guy and is very creative as you can easily see through his writing. 4 out of 5 stars

The Walking Dead Comic Book Series

Hello everyone. I've been away for a while, but this is a great on going series of comic books that became a TV series not that long ago. If you have not read the books, or if you haven't seen the show you should give it a read/watch. The story starts when Rick Grimes, a police officer with a loving family, awakes in an abandoned hospital after falling into a comma due to a gun shot wound. Soon he finds that the people in the hospital did not just leave him there for death. In fact, almost every one of them has become one of the walking dead, zombies that walk the earth in search of their only food source; the living. As Rick tries to come to terms with his new world he sets off for Atlanta in hopes of finding his wife Lori and son Carl. After a bad run in with some walkers in Atlanta he finds a group of survivors living on the outskirts of the city. There he finds his family, alive and well and his journey begins. He sets off with his new group in search of safer land wh...
